Relationality in the Classroom: Teaching Indigenous LIS in a Canadian Context
Ball, Tanya; Lar-Son, Kayla
portal: Libraries and the Academy, v21 n2 p205-218 Apr 2021
In 2015, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released the "94 Calls to Action," which asked educational and memory institutions to address their relationship with the Indigenous Peoples in what is now known as Canada. One of many steps toward repairing past injustice and moving toward reconciliation was the creation of a course at the University of Alberta's School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS). The course, LIS 598: Indigenous Library and Information Studies in a Canadian Context, was the first three-credit graduate course in Canada about Indigenous librarianship taught from Indigenous perspectives by Indigenous instructors. This essay highlights the growth and development of this course since its pilot in fall 2018, providing insights into Indigenous pedagogies and more broadly into the developing field of Indigenous library and information studies.
